Conference Program

Dear delegatesLiveCorp and the Australian Livestock Exporter’s Council (ALEC), in association with the Western Australian Livestock Export Association (WALEA) are proud to host the industry’s biennial conference, LIVEXchange 2017.

LIVEXchange provides a unique opportunity for industry stakeholders to come together and discuss key opportunities and challenges confronting the livestock export trade focused around the continual improvement of supply chain capabilities, animal welfare outcomes and market opportunities.

This year the conference seeks to address the theme of Taking Stock: (business) adaptability – (industry) sustainability – (community) accountability. The program seeks to provide a domestic and international perspective on issues such as insights, relations and confidence in the international live export industry, the sustainability of the trade, improving the utilisation of technology, tracking and traceability and providing community accountability.

The program is diverse and we have sought to hear from individuals in industries other than live export, to gain an appreciation for how they have approached challenges, made advancements or overcome adversity. The live animal export industry prides itself on being progressive and we hope that by hearing the experiences of others we can continue to improve ourselves and our trade.

I encourage you to take the time to experience all aspects of this event, from the conference to the trade stands and dinners.

I would also like to extend my thanks to the sponsors of LIVEXchange 2017 for their ongoing support of our industry and acknowledge our major sponsors, Road Trains Australia, Wellard Rural Exports and Coopers Animal Health for their involvement and facilitation of this event.

We hope you enjoy your time at LIVEXchange 2017 and make it an event to remember.

Regards,

Sam BrownLiveCorp, CEO
